Atlantic and Classon: one rider down, a pattern that won’t quit
Precinct 77: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 3, 2025
Just after 3 AM, Aug 28, 2025, a 30-year-old on a motorcycle hit a parked dump truck at Atlantic and Classon and died, according to city crash records (NYC Open Data; CrashID 4838103).
He was one of 11 people killed in Precinct 77 since 2022. Another 1,807 were injured in that span (NYC Open Data).
Atlantic Avenue keeps taking
Atlantic Avenue is the repeat scene. It leads the precinct’s list of hotspots with 4 deaths and 244 injuries recorded on that corridor alone in this period (Precinct 77 rollup). A 39-year-old pedestrian was killed on Atlantic in 2024; an SUV and a box truck were listed in the crash report (CrashID 4727579; NYC Open Data).
Pacific Street shows up too, with a fatality and dozens hurt. A 36-year-old woman crossing at Pacific and Buffalo was struck and killed by an SUV in 2022 (CrashID 4555483; NYC Open Data).
Heavy metal, soft bodies
Two recent deaths in the precinct involved riders striking parked trucks or vans: the Aug 28, 2025 crash at Atlantic and Classon (dump truck), and an Aug 2, 2024 crash at Utica and St. Johns where a 57-year-old rider hit a refrigerated van and died (CrashID 4745063; NYC Open Data).
Pedestrians fare worst when struck by larger vehicles. In this precinct’s pedestrian-injury rollup, SUVs and trucks account for a large share of the harm, with trucks tied to pedestrian deaths as well (NYC Open Data).
The clock doesn’t care
This bloodletting spans the day. Deaths here were logged in early morning, midday, late afternoon, and night. The injuries stack up at all hours (Precinct 77 hourly distribution; NYC Open Data).
This year, reported crashes are up versus last year’s pace in this precinct: 619 so far, compared with 507 at this point last year. Injuries are up too: 385 versus 281. Deaths are 1 year‑to‑date, down from 3 at this time last year (period comparison).
Fix the known danger
Start where it’s worst: Atlantic Avenue and Pacific Street.
- Daylight corners and harden turns to cut blind pulls and fast entries.
- Add truck loading rules and safer routing near known conflict points.
- Target failure‑to‑yield and speeding at repeat hotspots with sustained enforcement.
These are basic steps. They match the pattern the data shows here.
The precinct can only do so much. City Hall can do more.
Two levers would reduce the harm everywhere:
- Lower the default city speed limit. Slower streets mean fewer funerals. The case for this is laid out on our campaign page (Take Action).
- Pass the Stop Super Speeders Act to rein in the worst repeat offenders with mandatory speed limiters. Bill details and supporting evidence are compiled here.
Local officials hold the mic. Council Member Chi A. Ossé, Assembly Member Brian Cunningham, and State Senator Zellnor Myrie represent this area. The record above is theirs to change.
One rider died at Atlantic and Classon before dawn. The next fix starts there. Don’t wait. Act.
